: You can '''evaluate''' your [[results]] by comparing them to the [[results]] you expected or the [[results]] from other people. This allows you to decide whether to trust your [[results ]] or whether you need to find a way to improve your [[experiment]].

===ExamplesExample==={| class="wikitable"''Aim'': To find out how sunlight affects the growth of cress.|-''Prediction''|: The cress that gets sunlight will grow green shoots and the ones in the dark won't.''Aim Description of InvestigationExperiment'': 1. Cress seeds were placed in several pots.: 2. Half of the pots were placed on the window sill and half in a cupboard: 3. The cress was observed every day to see how they were growing.''Results''|* The plants on the window sill did not grow.* The plants in the cupboard grew roots only.* The soil for the plants on the windowsill was dry.* The soil for the plants in the cupboard was damp.* The pots on the windowsill were hot to the touch.'''MethodEvaluation''': The results did not match the prediction based on our textbook. The method was not good because the soil on the windowsill went dry because of the warmth and sunlight but the soil in the cupboard stayed damp. This meant sunlight wasn't the only difference between the two groups of cress. To improve the experiment both sets of plants should be watered to keep the conditions the same and to make sure they also have enough water to grow. ==Key Stage 3=====Meaning===An [[evaluation]] can be when problems with a [[method]] are identified and improvements are suggested, or can be when a [[conclusion]] is compared to the [[results]] to decide if the results are convincing enough to make that [[conclusion]]. ===About Evaluations===: An [[evaluation]] of a [[method]] seeks to find sources of [[Experimental Error|error]] in the [[experiment]] that could have caused bad [[results]].: The [[evaluation]] of a [[method]] usually includes suggested ways to improve the experiment, by removing the sources of [[Experimental Error|error]].: An [[evaluation]] of a [[conclusion]] decides whether the [[results]] were good enough to make the [[conclusion]] or whether more, or better, [[results]] are needed. ==Key Stage 4=====Meaning===An [[evaluation]] can be when problems with a [[method]] are identified and improvements are suggested, or can be when a [[conclusion]] is compared to the [[results]] to decide if the results are convincing enough to make that [[conclusion]]. ===About Evaluations===: An [[evaluation]] of a [[method]] seeks to find sources of [[Experimental Error|error]] in the [[experiment]] that could have caused bad [[results]].: The [[evaluation]] of a [[method]] usually includes suggested ways to improve the experiment, by removing the sources of [[Experimental Error|error]].: An [[evaluation]] of a [[conclusion]] decides whether the [[results]] were good enough to make the [[conclusion]] or whether more, or better, [[results]] are needed. ===References=======AQA==== :[https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0198359381/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=0198359381&linkCode=as2&tag=nrjc-21&linkId=47c8d1ae58d8b3a5e2094cd447154558 ''Evaluation, page 270, GCSE Chemistry;
